A Palestinian woman fell to her death during an Israeli military raid on her village in the occupied West Bank on Sunday and a witness said troops had pushed her, an account disputed by the army.
The soldiers came to Abu Dis, near Jerusalem, overnight in search of suspected Palestinian militants, apparently targeting students lodging in a property owned by 60-year-old Mariam Ayyad. One of the students, who would only be identified by his nickname, Abu Yaffa, said Ayyad tried to block the troops.
"She went outside in order to prevent them arresting someone from her house," he told Reuters. "They knocked her down and there was blood on her head."
